WOW, are you sure about the score? DSJ scored 2 points in the 4th quarter. I just got home from dinner with the little woman. I am surprised. Ottoville better be ready when they meet them in the district on a neutral court. Thanks Rocket & Flounder, I hope you were able to go to Dane's or the VFW. I will be there this summer, maybe we can match up. Have a great president's (past) weekend.

As I well figured that it would be! Such a great rivalry between the two. Thats why its always a given that you know you will get a great game. If these two were to have round 2 in the district finals, it shall be another great game.

Wow! I would say that the rematch (if it occurs) would favor DSJ with neutral court and the old saying "it's tough to beat a team twice" let alone 2x in 2 weeks.

Some strange quarters last night. In the JV game Ottoville won the 2nd quarter 4-0 and DSJ won the 3rd 2-0. Ottoville led 10-0 halfway through the first quarter and for the next 2.5 quarters it was 4-4.
In the varsity game DSJ won the 3rd 16-4 and ottoville the 4th 14-2. It was an 18-18 second half but how it got there was strange.

Post buddy I have never heard that saying before lol. I believe the "old saying" is its hard to beat a team 3 times in a season. I have seen plenty of teams lose to the same team twice in a matter of a few weeks. I don't see DSJ being favored at all. Ottoville is clearly a better team just got a bit awakened by a good DSJ team. Regardless Ottoville did not play well at all but lets not take away DSJ. They are a team to watch out for as well as they always play Ottoville tough. But in a rematch I would take Ottoville by 12-15 points. We shall see though if that does happen.

Post has it right, the saying is "it's hard to beat a team twice". Didn't we just spend two weeks hearing that before the Super Bowl?

Ottoville won at DSJ last year when the 'Jays lost Shelby Reindel to a knee injury in the 2nd quarter. Two weeks later DSJ trailed Ottoville by 10-12 at half in the district semi's but came back to win in 2 ot. Ottoville was a heavy favorite in that game. It can happen but it won't be easy.
DSJ also did not play well last night. Too many unforced turnovers. They'll have to play much better to win a rematch.

DSJ/Ottoville, when both teams are good, is ALWAYS a tremendous a game to watch, and is probably the best girls basketball rivalry in the area. 2 of the state's best D4 programs under two of the state's best coaches.

Always one of my favorite sports games of the year for the Blue Jays

Sorry but I don't think Post has it right. Nothing against him or you but the saying is "its hard to beat a team 3 times" not 2 times. Like I said 2 times has been done ALOT. Well it doesn't matter who the favorite will be. Ottoville clearly did not play their best last night but to beat teams like DSJ, Jefferson and Miller City you have to otherwise they may surprise you. DSJ and Ottoville always give each other a game. I think both Delphos teams will play Ottoville in districts which will be tough road for Ottoville.
